Designer of the Year

Benjamin Tabolt of MiTek Services began his career just fourteen years ago and already leads a team of nearly 2,000 estimators, drafters, and designers providing unique, custom construction-based service solutions for businesses across the globe.

Yet, he finds time to be an integral part of AIBD.

First, by being part of the team who designed and delivered the AIBD Residential BIM Manager training program. Before the pandemic, he and three others provided BIM training on behalf of AIBD across the country. Since then, he has turned the curriculum into an on-demand certificate program offered by AIBD online.

As one of our most popular speakers, he attended many AIBD conferences and soon became chairman of our Conference Committee, just as the world was locking down.

So, his order of business was to pivot our events from being in-person to virtual.

In a matter of weeks, his committee found Hopin, and he successfully launched a series of virtual events that have helped 1400 people connect and learn.

And now that conferences a beginning to happen in person again, this year, he has represented AIBD as a featured speaker at the New York Build and Chicago Build conferences.

Congratulations, Ben!
